Okay, I will admit it--I did not buy the series that this Aquaman came from. Wasn't even tempted. However, I've been wanting an Aquaman, and since there's no indication that DC Direct is going to put out the version I really like (long hair, beard, no shirt, hook for hand), I thought that this would make a reasonably badass variation.
He looks pretty good. I like the costume, and the shirt shimmers nicely. The eyes are a little odd looking, I assume there's a story behind it but I don't need to know it to appreciate the figure.
Functionally, he's not bad. He does suffer from that scourge of muscled action figures, the body-builder neck hump, albeit in a relatively mild form. The arms should turn out at the shoulder, but don't because they're blocked by his epaulets. However, he bends well at elbow, knee and hip, bends at the ankles and turns at the wrists. And he sits reasonably well.
He comes with a nice big sword in (apparently) a seashell scabbard.
